Graded #78 · C
Strengths
- The starter rate and the standing rate are both published, so the step-up is visible before signing up
- No membership fees and no hidden costs, stated as such
- The dose ladder is published: four weeks at 0.25 mg then four weeks at 0.5 mg
- Brand-name routes are priced openly, at retail
Where it loses points
- The $74 rate is a two-month starter plan billed as $149 up front, and it is open only to patients new to GLP-1 medication; the standing monthly rate is $149
- Tirzepatide has no equivalent standing discount — $299/mo is the ongoing rate
- Brand-name routes are priced at retail: Wegovy $1,839 and Zepbound $1,498
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
Graded #105 · C
Strengths
- Flat, dose-independent pricing on both semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Offers both weekly injections and daily oral tablets
- Includes unlimited provider follow-ups, a metabolic panel and a dietitian session
- Backed by grocery-pharmacy parent company Hy-Vee
Where it loses points
- Does not serve every state (for example Mississippi is excluded)
- Does not publicly name its compounding pharmacy
